St. Marianne Cope -- January 23
​St. Marianne Cope was selfless and worked her whole life to help everyone and anyone she could. She answered the call to go to Hawaii, set up care, homes, and new lives for those effected by leprosy.  When I include everyone, I am like St. Marianne Cope.

​Liturgical Colors

Green, purple, white, red... why do the colors in our Church change? Where did this tradition come from, and what do the colors mean? Find an excellent article here.

Ordinary Time

The Christmas season ended on January 9 with the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. Until Lent begins on March 2, we are in the season of Ordinary Time. What does this season mean? The name, "ordinary," comes from the same root word as "ordinal," as in ordinal numbers. Like the other weeks of Church year, it is counted time, with each Sunday having a number.

Ordinary can carry a connotation of being boring, of "nothing special." But the ordinary days of our lives as individuals and as a Church community are far from nothing special. Here is a fun reflection from a Mom's perspective, comparing Ordinary Time to a road trip. Here you will find a beautiful reflection on the importance of ordinary days.

Winter Vegetable Chili

Isabel Castillo & Karlee Rotoly
Tasty Team

Ingredients for 8 servings


  • olive oil, to taste
  • 1 medium white onion, diced
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups parsnip, peeled and diced
  • 3 cups butternut squash, peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chipotle powder
  • 28 oz cannellini bean, drained
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped, plus more for garnish
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • shredded cheddar cheese, for garnish

Preparation

  1. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, season with salt, and cook until the onion starts to sweat and become translucent, 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes more.
  2. Add the parsnips and butternut squash and season with salt, paprika, oregano, cumin, allspice, and chipotle powder. Stir to coat the vegetables with the spices. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Add the cannellini beans, cilantro, and vegetable broth. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, until the chili is thickened and the vegetables are cooked through.
  4. Ladle the chili into bowls and top with cilantro and cheddar cheese.
  5. Enjoy!
